Raymond Lee Sullivan (Bubba) 53, of Odessa went to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Friday, August 2nd, 2013 at his residence.
He was born to Delpha Jean Crowley on November 22, 1959 in Martinez, California. He moved to Odessa, Texas and started his oilfield career when he was just 15 years old. He worked for many of Odessa’s finest oilfield companies, including West Texas Oilfield Trucking Co.
He married the love of his life, Teresa Savage, on November 10th, 1981, and had three daughters, Sonia, Eileena, and Earlene.
In 1986, he experienced one of his greatest joys in life, he became a Pawpaw. He had 10 grandchildren Samantha, Breanne, Eddie Ray, Jack Lee, Mariah, Joseph, Amber, David Jr, Joseph, Allysan, and Bubba. He was incredibly proud of his grandson, Spc. Eddie Medrano, who is currently serving his country overseas. He was also Pawpaw to 10 great-grandbabies.
He was a very hardworking man who took great joy and pride in his work, and watching his family grow. He loved to fish, and he loved to travel. Bubba made many great friendships with people throughout the years. He was a well-respected man. He was loved by many and will be greatly missed. We know he is watching us from above, guiding and protecting us now, just as he always did. We can hear him now, telling St. Peter at the pearly gates he’d better find a way to get them gates opened wider, in order to fit his rigs in their new location.
